Re: Well, I've never seen a doner kebab, so I can't really speak to that... Legolas Send a noteboard - 09/09/2010 12:32:28 AM
But pitas can be made in a variety of ways. First, grilled meat stuffed into a pita with sauce and veggies; secondly rotisseried meat (usually a combination meat, lamb, beef, chicken, pressed into a cylindrical shape) that is shaved into slices and put into pita bread with veggies and sauce; and the third way I've seen pita done was with pre-sliced portions of meat that were heated and put inside pita with sauce and veggies.

Grilled on one of those rotating grills, too? Or a normal one? But yeah, like I said, the difference is slight - döner kebabs have the same thing of sliced meat with veggies and sauce put into a special kind of bread. It's just the meat and bread that are a bit different, and even then not by much, and not even in every case.
The bread is always "pita bread." There might be variation for region or flavors... but it's a six inch round of flatbread.

Yeah, same as the pita bread we got here, then. Around here, kebab bread is much larger, somewhat different in taste, and cut into quarters, so you end up getting a piece of bread that's still larger than a pita, and is open at the top and at one side (makes eating them without everything falling out a bit of a challenge, sometimes). But odds are they use other kinds of bread in other countries.

The fact that döner kebabs are a good bit larger than pitas explains why it's seen as a bit of a health hazard, though - iirc the worst offenders have clocked in at over 2000 cals, which is obviously rather too much to eat in a single meal. I might be misremembering that, but really a ton of calories, anyway. :P

Do you know the weirdest thing about Scotland? - 08/09/2010 11:26:18 PM 1902 Views
True, and I agree with your theory. - 08/09/2010 11:31:46 PM 1249 Views
Good. I thought it made sense. - 08/09/2010 11:33:25 PM 1403 Views

I mostly mean meat on a stick, with the occasional veggie, roasted over fire or grilled. - 09/09/2010 12:14:43 AM 1381 Views
It is a good question - what's the difference between pita and (döner) kebab. - 09/09/2010 12:20:38 AM 1384 Views

Yeah, I'm guessing their not Greek... - 09/09/2010 12:34:44 AM 1556 Views
Yes but in Scotland, your Gyro is something completely different. - 09/09/2010 09:56:52 AM 1387 Views

Jugo? I'd say zumo... - 08/09/2010 11:51:10 PM 1585 Views
zumo is Spanish-Spanish, I believe - 09/09/2010 09:02:14 AM 1410 Views
Yeah, but I was confused because Rebekah said jugo was Spanish-Spanish. *NM* - 09/09/2010 09:47:21 AM 795 Views
Maybe it's a regional thing? - 09/09/2010 09:50:11 AM 1122 Views

I have no idea what you're talking about. - 08/09/2010 11:42:32 PM 1469 Views
What, Spain and Scotland (okay, and Brittany) are "almost every European country" now? *NM* - 08/09/2010 11:52:18 PM 783 Views
There was some unexpected country with bagpipes the other day. - 08/09/2010 11:56:07 PM 1387 Views
Actually, this is a better list. - 08/09/2010 11:57:47 PM 1342 Views
Okay. We'll just have to conclude they're really, really obscure/rare in most of those countries. *NM* - 09/09/2010 12:00:07 AM 764 Views
Well. They're certainly not popular anymore. - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 1371 Views
